  "account": "The Chairperson of Kwali Area Council in Nigeria's Federal Capital Territory has raised concerns about the difficulty in securing land for a new health center in Sheda community. Speaking recently, he highlighted the high cost of land in Pai and Sheda areas, making it challenging to find suitable land for essential infrastructure. The council had attempted to secure land for the health center, but the existing allocations were insufficient. The chairman visited the Land Department of the Federal Capital Development Authority to discuss the issue with top management. Despite the allocation of land for agricultural purposes around the Pai axis and Sheda, the council is still struggling to find a solution. They have written to the Development Control Department of the FCDA to explore ways to review and regulate land allocations for critical public infrastructure and residential development. The chairman stressed the importance of following due process while addressing land constraints to ensure the progress of community projects.",
